My Last wish

Since that incident, Alexander started to shut off any person aside from his mom from approaching him. His mother noticed the changes in his behavior so she asked him what was wrong.

"Alex, you have been avoiding people these days. Is something wrong? You can tell me anything if you want." his mother worriedly said.

"Nothing is... wrong... Mom. I think I'm just not feeling well these days. I'm sorry to have you worried." he answered with a forced yet soft smile.

"Are you certain that there is nothing wrong? I can't help you solve your problem if you don't tell me you know." his mother is still persistent since she knew that something is really off.

"Mom, I know how you love me so I... really don't have anything to hide from you." replied Alexander to reassure his mother.

"Okay, if you say so. But honey, if you encounter any problem that you think you can't handle, just say the word and I will help you solve it. Okay?" his mother replied while giving him a warm hug.

He simply nodded to his mother while hugging her tightly. This simple conversation made him realize how precious he is to his mother and his mother to him so he decided to bury the incident for good and put on a happy face so that his peaceful days with his mother will never be disrupted again.

Time flew and 12 years has passed.
